Fingerstyle guitar for beginners and intermediates
Strumming The GUITAR has it’s own right place. But when learning the fingerstyle, it opens a wide variety of very beautiful melodies . Because you play as an orchestra. What do we mean by this? Well, in the beginning we will be learning several basslines with the thumb in combination with the melody. So, you play both the rhythm and the melody together. I am also going to give you an amazing formula which you van use to build your own FINGERPICKING patterns as you practice.
This course is both for the beginner and intermediate student.
Those already know some chords, can receive help modify them so that you can adjust to a song and integrate the melody into the chordshape.
It is a most interesting course open for everyone !!

Very pleasant first hour. I immediately felt at ease with Rik.
As a beginner, I was well guided during that first introduction.
I'm already looking forward to the next lesson. Rik made me want more.

For playing blues on the harmonica, you will be needing a 10-Hole DIATONIC harmonica in the key of C.
We start with holding the harmonica rightfully in your hand and in the mouth.
Then we will be playing our first pure, single note. And then gradually playing them all over the instrument.
Then it is time for learning the basic 12 bar blues progression. This will help you to start to play your favourite bluestunes, but also start your own tunes.
In the course , you will also be able to learn the important technique: Bending. This is an integral part of bluesharmonica. I will show you exactly how to do that.
And a lots of other techniques.
But, most of all, you will have a la of fun.
You will have much joy !!
Do you want to play your favorite song on guitar? In other words, do you want to start playing harmonica?
Then you are at the right place.
There is no age to start. young and old can come to me!
My motivation is to help the student achieve his goal. Whatever it is.
You can expect a patient, friendly approach from me.
This means: I provide individual assistance to each student, with the necessary finesse.
Specifically what you need to make progress.
You will get the basics, but in a fun way! The different techniques will be dealt with during the course.
Learning to play the piano is very enjoyable.
I will take you through the basic elements (all notes, chords, scale, etc...) to playing your first song. This doesn't have to take too long. And also further, such as improvising, for more advanced people.
I teach Blues and boogie woogie.
Individual help guaranteed! And don't forget the fun.
Greetings,
Rick
The student starts by holding the harmonica correctly, which is a diatonic in the key of G (sol).
Then he / she learns to play a pure note, and to master the distances between the different holes.
The C scale is also studied. Learn to play in 1st position, then in 2nd position.
A simple song is taught. Then some basic techniques, such as: thrills, sliding and bending.
10 lessons are enough to have a good foundation.

Persian lessons / Dutch lessons for non-native speakers and (non-native) childrenAs non-Dutch speaking parents, it is certainly not easy to teach your children Dutch or help them become more fluent in the new language. Who wants some extra exercise for their kids? I would like to help you with that. As their vocabulary expands and their sentences become more fluent, your children will become more confident. A good command of the Dutch language is certainly to their advantage, both now and in the future.
Do your children need some help with their homework, especially with their Dutch, then I can help with that.
Even as non-native-speaking adults, it is sometimes difficult to have enough exercise. That is why adults who want to make progress in speaking the Dutch language are welcome here! We can practice the everyday language together. Conversing is the best way to learn a new language.
Anyone want to learn Persian? Then I am here to help you with that. Here too, I mainly work on communication.

Dynamic Dutch courses with a smiling native speaker ;-)I use several methods which are specially conceived to teach Dutch to people who have a different mother tongue. I really like to use methods out of the ordinary like role games or methods with which you learn while playing. All these adapted to the student's situation of course. As I learned myself a couple of other languages, it is easy for me to detect difficulties a student can encounter and adapt the way of learning. I can teach in English, French, German and Russian.

Dutch lessons for young professionals as well as academic/university supportDutch is my mother tongue, I am Dutch and I suggest you improve your level of Dutch by focusing on conversation - pronunciation - learning to express yourself well - convincing shyness to speak. Of course also academic support - explanation of grammar - reading and understanding texts - writing and editing. Preparing for job interviews, raising the level of Dutch for professional use to a higher level, working with university students to prepare for their Dutch exams etc etc. I adapt my lessons to the needs of each student. With advanced students we discuss the news based on newspaper articles.
I speak fluent French, English, and Italian. I am a lawyer by training with 30 years of experience in international business. The ultimate goal of my lessons: to love Dutch and prepare for your future!

Teaching children until the age of 11 years old playfully DutchTeaching children is almost "an art" Not everyone is able to place him or herself in the mind of a child and that is just so important! I teach playfully and at the same time they learn without really realizing they are in a lesson! I do this with diverse lesson material such as pictures, video's, and we are also practicing songs together. Did I make you curious, come take a look and see if your child is liking my way of teaching! Greetings Carolina.

Learn Dutch in a short time - experienced coach (24 years of experience) State Exam NT2 trainer - inspired to teach Dutch to expatsA qualified language coach with 24 years of experience offers intensive Dutch lessons in a small class or online.
I give many Dutch NT2 lessons to expats and in preparation for an integration exam.
Specialized in guiding for the State Exam I and II. Special exam coach.
In January 2025 I will also start with groups again. We have a great classroom in the center of Rotterdam, near metro station Beurs, lessons with small homogeneous groups (little difference in level).
We mainly go for quality and not just running a lesson. I am really involved in the progress of the student. In addition to teaching, I want to do everything to really motivate students to take the next step. That is my strength!
You can also choose the online lesson package with Whereby, Teams or Zoom in a comfortable way. Online classes are one-on-one or maximum one-on-two, for better results.
My English is fluent, as well as Portuguese and Spanish. I understand the difficulties of overcoming barriers for Latin languages and for expats in general, as I have also been an expat.
Online lessons last 75 minutes once a week for 10 weeks to reach a higher level.
This is the normal speed. Including exam training (A-2 or Staatsexamen) and exam at the end.
Intensive training ? That can also be done in five to ten full days, I am used to giving these very intensive trainings to CEOs or managers who want it faster and more intensive ... all lessons within 3 or 4 weeks. Based on the European system A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 and C-1
As soon as students want to further improve their knowledge of Dutch, I always advise and coach them to take the State Exam I or II, the only formal Certificate in this country, recognized by employers and universities.
I will try to switch to conversation after a few lessons, to put your knowledge into practice as soon as possible. Don't get too caught up in the grammar.
Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 24 years it feels like the first time and students always feel inspired to overcome the obstacles.
I also teach you about Dutch social culture, which is intertwined in the course and is strongly related to the language.
